A canine thank you
Coverage absent
TO THE EDITOR: After my last thank-you letter was printed I had the delight of going to Stafford Middle School to help teach the "Hug-a-Tree" program. I really wanted to go and meet these kids because they held a fundraiser in my honor. So I would like to give a big shout out to Stafford Middle School's Sixth Grade Explorer Team and all the teachers involved: Rick Durham, Wendy Laforest, Carolyn Miller, Diane Smith and Michelle Walpole. I also want to say thank you to Kerri Chase and her class for rolling all the change; that must have taken forever. I am still on the road to recovery and hopefully will be able to patrol the Adirondack Mountains helping those in need again very soon. Lots of thanks from me, Oakland and, of course, my handler, Shannon Bresett. Oakland Shannon Bresett Champlain Valley Search and Rescue K9 Unit Keeseville
TO THE EDITOR: Again this year, there were no media reports from the March for Life in Washington, DC. I find this very troubling living in a country that has freedom of speech.
This should make people stop and think: When and where was the march? What is the march? Who was at the march? Why isn't the media telling us about it? What are they hiding and what could the impact be from letting us know? Why don't they want you to know about this?
According to unofficial counts, there were over 250,000 people from all areas of the world at the March for Life, D.C., Jan. 22, and 45,000 people in the Walk for Life in San Francisco, Jan. 23. Conferences, ecumenical prayer services, Masses were held for four days of the event. It is all about saving lives, speaking out for those who don't have a voice, sharing stories of pain and healing.
Teenagers, college students, families with children, young and old, men and women, people who care, people who hurt, people who love. They all came to witness to God's love and to share the gospel of Life. They came to speak the truth and to not be afraid to love all people especially those in their mother's wombs. Courageous men and women shared their testimonies of pain and suffering from their personal abortions. They came to share their message to hope for those still suffering silently from the affect of abortion. They raised their voices and cried out "We will be silent no more," "We love babies, yes we do, we love babies so do you."
In a world of information technology, there is no reason this wasn't reported, except for the fact that they want to keep us uninformed, and silent. God knows who was there, why we were there and he knows the impact it will make. With him we will be silent no more.
